Add all the dressing ingredients into the bowl of a mini chopper or immersion blender.

Taste the dressing, then add the stevia to taste. Because the Sugar Free Apricot Jam adds some subtle sweetness, I found several drops of stevia works perfectly for me.

Is Vinaigrette Keto?

Store-bought vinaigrette almost always has added sugar. By making your own homemade vinaigrette, you control the ingredients and can ensure there are no added sugars making it a perfect salad dressing or marinade on Keto.

What’s the Best Way to Store Keto Chipotle Vinaigrette?

You’ll need to store your chipotle lime vinaigrette in the fridge in an air tight container. It will keep for about a week.

Chilling it will usually cause the olive oil to thicken. If that happens, just set the container in warm water for a few minutes and it will become loose and pourable again. Be sure to give it a good shake before serving,

Are Chipotle Peppers Hot?

A chipotle pepper is a roasted and dried smoked jalapeno chili pepper so they do have a bit of heat, but nothing really dramatic.

When used with other ingredients, like the jam and apple cider vinegar in this recipe, the heat is somewhat diffused giving it just enough spiciness without being an overwhelming amount of heat.

Other Uses for Sugar-Free Apricot Jam

You’ll notice that this recipe uses a sugar-free apricot jam from Good Good. If you’re on the fence about giving it a try, let me encourage you to do so.

It’s by far the best sugar free jam I’ve tasted. I like to use it as a Keto substitute for honey to thicken and add sweetness to homemade salad dressings.

And if you’re wondering what you should do with the remaining jam in the jar, here are some awesome ideas that will put it to delicious use:

  • I absolutely love a summertime berry medley. You can take some of this jam and thin it out with a little water and simple syrup made with Swerve or Allulose and drizzle over a bowl of berries. It makes a super easy dessert everyone will love.
  • Last but not least, in its simplest form, Sugar Free Apricot Jam serve with homemade Keto Biscuits is so good, you won’t even miss traditional jam.

More Keto Salad Dressings

Finding a sugar free store-bought dressing can be almost impossible these days. With just a few ingredients, you can make your own homemade Keto salad dressing without all the sugar. And it taste so much better than any you can buy. Here are a few to give you some inspiration:

    1. You could probably another flavor sugar free jam you prefer. I just love the combination of flavors of the apricot.
